Report
BEWARE Terrible, Unethical As grieving beneficiaries of a legal trust that we knew nothing about, I believe Ron Kelner CPA of SDK took advantage of our vulnerable position. From the start, he and SDK lacked the professional communication normally provided in accounting firms. I witnessed reckless handling our family's personal data, endless delay (years!), and straight up malpractice that has cost us a lot of money and stress. Steer clear of these people and look for an honest CPA.

I have been the business controller at my organization for four years with SDK as our audit firm (they have been performing the audit service for over 20 years). The auditors have proven to be knowledgeable, dependable, and good communicators. They have taken the time to learn our business as well as our entire industry. They maintain independence and operate with very high ethical standards. Our Board, Finance Committee, and myself truly appreciate the value they provide.

The non-profit I work for has been a client with SDK for more than 20 years. We have had exceptional service and built a very strong, trusting relationship. All of my questions are welcomed, and answered in a timely fashion. We consistently receive the highest level of professional service. Kudos to this long-standing firm.

I could have bought a new car with all the money I paid this firm to do my taxes and when they didn't catch a $55,000 drop in income from 2014 to 2015 they wouldn't accept any responsibility for missing a W-2.
